This is an epochal system called Sound Retrieval System, which creates a three-dimensional sound space. The

feeling of depth, the width of the sound field, the sound image positioning, etc. all are clearly improved, and the

listening area also is widened. (Retrieval is used in the meaning of recovery or restoration.)

In addition to the possibility of storing up to 2 timer programs in memory, the following functions are available.

Cleaning

If fingerprints or foreign matter become at-

tached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with

a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the cen-

ter of the disc outwards in a radial manner.

Handling

Hold compact discs so that you do not

touch the playing surface.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for a long

period of time, remove it from the CD player

and store it in its case.

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Discs which can be played with this unit

CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CDV (only the audio part)

÷ With CD-G (CD Graphics) discs, this unit can play only the audio.

Caution on disc used

Disc handling precautions

Do not attach paper or tape to either

the playing side or the label side of

compact discs.

The paste left on the label surface af-

ter a sticker has been peeled off is a

factor which may cause malfunction.

If the surface is sticky due to remain-

ing paste, be sure to clean it with al-

cohol before use.

Never play cracked or warped disc.

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.

Therefore, to avoid malfunction, never use a cracked or deformed

disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.

Handling of discs

Sticker

Sticky paste

Write protect tab

To protect recorded contents against accidental erasure, set the write

protect tab of the disc open. Return the tab to the original position when

you want to record signals on the disc.

Care

Wipe periodically dust and dirt attached on the cartridge with a dry

cloth.

Write protect tab

Slide close.

(Recording enabled)

Disc back side

Do not touch the disc directly.

Do not touch the disc by opening the shutter with your hand. The

cartridge will be damaged if it is forced open.

Storage position

Do not leave Mini Discs in place where the temperature and/or humidity

are extremely high (for example, in a place subject to direct sunlight).

Handling of Mini Disc

As the Mini Disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint. However, stained or

soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for extended period of time, take care on the following points.

Slide open.

(Recording disabled)

Dust countermeasure

The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently open while the disc is loaded

in the set. Therefore, to prevent dust from penetrating inside the disc, take the

disc out of the unit immediately after completion of recording or playback.

CD accessories

The CD accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.)

which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting

discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system

because they may cause malfunction.

Standby mode

When the plug of the power cord of this unit is plugged into an

outlet, the time indication lights in OFF (STANDBY) condition.

ferred to as the standby mode. While the time indication is lit,

the system can be switched ON from the remote control unit.

Listening through headphones
